Data Recovery Engineers

The engineers are the magicians of the process. Just like the best surgery room in a hospital is useless without skilled surgeons, the best data recovery lab in the world is useless without skilled engineers. There are no schools that teach data recovery. There are some labs that give out certifications but, frankly, those certifications are elementary compared to the skills we teach our engineers. No certification can teach the nuance of data recovery. Just as riding a bike cannot be taught from a book, data recovery takes years of experience to master.

Each make of hard drive has a different and unique language. For this reason, it’s very difficult to master data recovery. Imagine learning to speak seven different languages. Fluency in that hard drive’s language determines success. Fusion Data Recovery engineers are fluent in all hard drive languages including Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Maxtor, and Samsung. However, due to acquisitions and mergers, it important to know which models don’t speak the language on the label.

Within the same make and even within the same exact model, there are differences in mechanical and firmware components. We have even seen drives made on the same day, in the same factory, on the same line that do not have compatible parts or firmware.

There are many times that drives have exactly the same symptoms, but have vastly different solutions. Doing the wrong thing with some drives can destroy platters and make the data forever unrecoverable. Knowing the dozens of different make and model scenarios is priceless in a data recovery lab.

Just like any other professional field, intangibles are the most important things when dealing with data recovery. Certifications, clean air, and expensive equipment, while necessary, pale in comparison to the importance of skilled and experienced engineers.

Additionally, Fusion Data Recovery enjoys and continues to develop close relationships with some of the best data recovery engineers in the world. Constant mentoring and training keeps our engineers at the cutting edge of data recovery techniques. We are always passionately seeking to develop our own software, hardware, and techniques. Our engineers consistently recover data other providers have deem unrecoverable. In fact, due to the relative size of our operation, we can exhaust every possible solution in even the most complicated cases. We often recover data from failed hard drives and RAIDs that other well-known data recovery services have sadly deemed unprofitable
